properties-window: set max-width for value labels (868 bytes, patch)

Description Andrea Antolini 2014-06-23 16:12:35 UTC 
1) Select a folder with a lot of file/folders
2) Select all from gear menu
3) choose properties

Properties windows is too wide (see example) because in the row Names all files (or most of them are listed)

Maybe could be better, when you choose more than X files/folder write something like  : "Names : -" (Type field already do that)

properties-window: set max-width for value labels

Not setting it can lead to very wide windows, because gtk doesn't
enforce a maximum window size anymore.
